Qi charging mat broke two of my cards

[Abaker Mk2]

Just an advisary really, I placed my shell charge card and my works access card on the Qi charging mat on two separate occasions and they both failed to respond to after that. They were both the contactless type (Not magnetic strip). I didn't realise that was a thing but apparantly it is.

It's not a real surprise I was thinking the other day if it was strong enough to wipe cassette tapes I suppose there should be a warning on it

It's a shame it doesn't have an on/off switch like the Prius one did.
Does the Gen 2 ZS have a card slot in the dash near the drivers right knee ?

Oh and it really is not a good place to put your passport as it wipes them as well

Maybe it's time to pull the fuse as I find the charging speed is poor anyway, if I want a decent charge i'll use the cable.

No we don't have a card holder unfortunately.

Time to get the angle grinder out.

Having half a dozen charge cards kept in the car a holder should have been a no brainer!

No it has been deleted on the ( Gen2 ) model.
In its place, is what looks like a small speaker grill.
It has been suggested it is used to house an internal temperature sensor ( at the rear ) to monitor the cabin temperature for the climate control system, which makes sense.
If I am using a single card to pay at a drive through.
I will pull down the drivers sun visor, on the back of the visor there is thin strap that can be used to quickly store a plastic card in hurry.
Handy if you are in hurry.

Speaking of which, just a bit off topic but the area below the cup holders and gear selector, is that all hollow space? I guess it would have been the Zs ice’s gearbox there. If so I want to reclaim it somehow?

Not 100% sure if the area you are referring too, but usually on FWD ICE models the gearbox bolted to the side of the engine and therefore under the bonnet.
Just the gear selector cables to the stick really where the rotary control is housed for the EV model.
